NASSAU- A man involved in a traffic accident that killed a married couple on Christmas Day was on Thursday fined for driving without insurance.
Alexander Butler, 32, was fined $250, the maximum for the offense.
He paid the money to avoid spending eight weeks in prison.
Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt granted Butler $12,000 bail, pending his killing in the course of dangerous driving case.
Prosecutors say Butler caused the deaths of Brent Johnson and his wife Eulona by driving dangerously.
Butler spent one week in prison on remand while waiting for a bail hearing.
Butler, a butcher, returns to court on September 21 for trial.
The collision happened around 6pm.
Police say Butler crashed into the Johnsons’ Nissan March while overtaking.
The owners of the Sweet Life gelato shop were pronounced dead at the scene. They left behind two daughters, who were also injured in the accident.
